I've got a 2002 6spd h.o. with 50,000 miles and the clutch is slipping. Which clutch would be better a centerforce dual friction or a southbend? Is ther any other clutches there that<br>would be better? Currently have bully dog 65hp module but plan to upgrade to 60 or 80hp injectors so I need to have something thats going to last and not slip.

 

Southbend all the way.

Depending on your current, or future horsepower levels, you may at least inquire about the Con FE as well as the OFE. The FE is rated at I believe ~100 horsepower more than the OFE. I don't know about the price difference, but I would not expect it to be too great.<br><br>I am of the opinion: even if it costs a bit more initially, go for all you can the first time and you hopefully won't have to upgrade it again later (unless it fails, of course).<br><br>I have the Con FE, by the way ;D<br><br>Tom

 

Well I am a cheap son of a buck, southbends are nice and have a good rep, but tst has a ceramic button for like five hundred or so, won't slip, might break but won't slip.<br><br>Heath

I sure wish they werent though<br>DM01

 

I have had a lot of button clutches in trucks. They are either engaged or disengaged, no slip. I would not have one in a street driven truck. Another habit they have is needing to replace the flywheel at a clutch change. The buttons do not wear the flywheel does. Unless they have advanced the ceramic button clutches greatly since I have had one, stay with a standard facing. Your drive line and transmission will love you for it.
